Sunday Evening Post...Daybook Style

Outside my window...it's dark and there is a cool breeze wafting through the windows thanks to the two fans we have pulling that cool air into the house. It's supposed to be hot again tomorrow so I'll enjoy the cool night while I can.
On my mind...not much, just anticipating a new week. I love Mondays and the start of a new week. Tomorrow starts bright and early when I meet Julie at the gym at 6:30 am. We are now meeting at the gym two mornings a week and even have a routine--10 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes on the weight machines, and 20 more minutes on the elliptical. Going in the morning is so nice because I get the exercise over with and don't have to figure out how to fit it into my day. I've made it to the gym 4x each week for the last two weeks. Woohoo....that's a record!
On my nose...a nose ring!! This dumb little piece of metal has made me so super happy but I will say that I'm looking forward to the day that it's no longer new and something to talk about with everyone. Everyone has something to say but that's okay, I expected that. It's a little crazy for a middle-aged homeschool momma to go and do something like that.
What I'm reading...I stayed up until almost 1 am this morning finishing the book, Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. I really enjoyed it, I've read about 5 of her books and enjoyed all of them. Not sure what I'll read next, I have an interesting assortment of choices on my nightstand--a Dave Barry book, a Karen Kingsbury book, Bleak House by Charles Dickens, and some other book that looked interesting. I'll have to see what I'm in the mood for at bedtime.
Where I'm going...to GA on Thursday! I'm driving up for a whirlwind weekend--a play that my sister is directing, Relay for Life, a parade and festival, and Mother's Day. Then we'll come home on Monday.
From the homeschool room...we are going at a steady pace right now that I'm happy with. I think we'll wrap up our school year at the end of this month but continue math all summer. We did the first IEW lesson in writing last week and it went really well. I'm hoping to get through Lesson 5 before we stop for the summer. This week will be a short week and we'll just focus on the basics.
From the kitchen...I made an indian meal tonight for Ollie's early birthday dinner. We had spicy lentils, rice, a new vegetable dish that had 9 veggies in it and took forever to make, and naan. Tomorrow night is leftovers and I think I will be making more indian food on Tuesday. I had wanted to make paneer (cheese) tonight and didn't have time so I think I'll make Saag Paneer (a spinach dish with fried cheese) and may even try my hand at Samosas.
In other news...the kids are just a few weeks away from their performance of "Camp Rock, The Musical," I think it's going to be a fun show to watch, the songs are really catchy and the dances are great. After this show we will take a 2 1/2 month break from theatre which in some ways will be nice but we'll also really miss it. I guess that's the only other news I have because I've completely drawn a blank.
Peace out my friends!
